No, gmail is not slow. It loads in 5~10 secs. in Firefox 2.0.0.5, Fedora 7, P3 500 Mhz, 384 Mb RAM, 768 Mb SWAP or Pagefile (win users) and 150 Kbps Reliance DSL. :)

Though for me rediff is the fastest to log in but overall gmail is the best in every respect.

GMail will be slow in Dialup connections because it uses AJAX.

No, it works. My dad had problems using his VPN. He could not visit any office site using VPN and other sites using regular DSL. I cleared his IE 6 cache and he was able to do what he wasn't! :)
